Bottle gourd flesh is peeled into thin, long strips and dried into a tape-like shape. It is not clear when it began to be made, but the name first appeared in the Gegakushu (1444). The Wakan Sansai Zue (1712) lists Kawachi and Settsu as places of production, but today Tochigi Prefecture is the main producer. It is milky white in color and has a distinctive sweet fragrance. The best quality is slightly thick and wide, and is used in salads and soups, but is especially good in simmered dishes. It is also used as a tying string for konbumaki (kelp rolls), hachimanmaki (Japanese rolls), and inari sushi. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ユウガオの果肉をテープ状に薄く細長くむいて乾燥したもの。いつごろから作られるようになったかは明らかでないが,《下学集》(1444)あたりから名を見るようになる。《和漢三才図会》(1712)には河内,摂津が産地として挙げられているが,現在では栃木県が主産地である。乳白色で甘い特有の香りがあり,やや厚手で幅のひろいものが良品で,あえ物,汁の実などにするが,とくに煮物がよい。ほかに昆布巻や八幡巻,あるいは稲荷ずしなどに結びひもとして使われる。
